Every week we're seeing more and more news like that - whether its the government or internet companies - in which people's right to privacy and to freedom online are being severely threatened. I'm not an american, but I grew up seeing the USA as an example of freedom and progress. It's very sad that this is becoming less and less true every passing day.

We must build a decentralised web. Now.

The outrage on this site is more selective than I would have anticipated. If you think your rights have only been eroded over the last few weeks, you've been drinking kool-aid.
The parent's post makes zero reference to how long they think this has been going on.
The GP starts his post with "every week," and I interpreted it as being structured to indicate a recent trend.

It is ambiguous, I admit, but I don't think I'm reaching with my understanding.
